My saviours during the helpless situations

Here I would like to share some of the instances where people who had saved me in distress when i was totally helpless. showing my gratitude to them by this blog
first, in my 4th std, We dreaded a terror in the social studies "miss" (as we used to call then and not ma'am). She was such a terror that we ourselves will not bring wooden scales(she was so clever that she does not break her own scales but the ones borrowed from the students).
One day it happened that I had forgot to bring my homework note ( I was so sincere in those times I never skipped any writing homework but i never did those homework that said us to learn the lesson taught that day, because it cannot be proved otherwise). In those days I used to carry all the notes irrespective of the time table. I had left it at home after completing the work. Just when my turn was to come to get the thrashing our "terror" stopped for a moment looking out of the window and called to me " look who is coming?" It was my grand father who had walked all the way to school to bring my notebook.( he was 90 at that time).


Second instance ,
When I was studying VI I used to travel by bus to go to school.( 4G to be specific TML 6802)
The ticket cost was Rs1.25. The bus had a frequency of once in 90 min. I travelled the entire distance of the trip barring a stop. Having given this introduction, One day being over enthusiastic I took the change Rs 1.50 and kept it in my pocket in the school itself. That day the bus was earlier than usual and was happy that I did not miss it. Only when inside I found out that I had missed my change while playing. I was counting the change left with me 65ps it could not get me even the minimum ticket of 70ps. I was praying to god that conductor should not find me out.(the next stop was nirmala school stop where there would be lot of girls getting in so i could miss in the crowd)
But as there was nobody in the bus the conductor came to me for tickets. I could not explain my condition as conductor's argument was if I had lost my money I should have lost in toto and not partially. I started trembling as I had no options (In those days there was no phone to call back home, and i didn't know how to catch an auto back home, if I had to walk home I didn't know the route completely I think it is 10km)
But suddenly the conductor gave me a ticket without the money and went away.(this was when i started saving money between the pages of my books. As a principle i don't spend them. there are a few thousands in my books now). I could not believe my eyes.
I thanked heaven for his magnanimity. the next day i went up to him to give the charge. he politely refused it.
I still remember him and sometimes talk to him when i see him.

The third instance of getting help from a stranger is when i was studying IX standard. That day due to a traffic diversion there was no bus for more than 2 hrs. I didnt know about it and when i realised it was too late. I had to change two buses to reach my place. I reached periyar bus stand and was about to catch the bus when I felt the ground beneath me slipping. It was a blackout. I fell to ground unconscious. When I woke up i had a glass of surbath being thrust into my hands. It was indeed refreshing. Before I could thank Him he had left the scene. Then people around me enquired me and boarded me in the bus i had to take.


I think to myself reminded of these benevolence the world  is not always full of evil. There are always somebody to help you when you are in utter distress. and we should return the favour to all those we can
